food IS a theme park
The Disney World parks have now reopened, but some attractions and entertainment offerings are still unavailable, including several shows which involve live performers.
Disney World
While Disney had planned to call performers back for rehearsals ahead of the park reopenings, the Actor’s Equity Association unanimously rejected Walt Disney World’s plan for the safety of its members.
It’s been a REAL nail biter watching our favorite park characters move forward in the DFB Park Characters Throw Down or admit some major defeats.
Mickey & Friends Motorcade
We’ve had to say goodbye to friends like the sweetest Disney Princesses, Woody and Buzz (say it ain’t so!), and multiple members of the Fab Five. But, the next round might prove to be the most difficult!
One of our top tips for visiting Disney World is to make sure you stay HYDRATED!
Free Cup of Water
And while guests can get free cups of water at quick service restaurants around the parks, we like to bring along a reusable water bottle as well to make sure we’ve got a backup stash! So, when we spotted some cute new water bottles on our visit to EPCOT today, we just had to share!
We’re back again in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney today!
Ballast Point Brewing Co.
Today has been quite the time for discovery in the shopping and dining district with the reopening of Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen and the arrival of the new Together Again Masks! But, we’ve also got some GREAT news for all the coffee lovers out there, just in time for Pumpkin Spice season around the corner!
Ah EPCOT, the land of festivals and food (oh, and some pretty amazing rides too)!
EPCOT
As we walked around EPCOT today, we noticed one of the 2020 Taste of Epcot International Food and Wine Festival food booths had closed down. But, as they say, when one snack spot closes, another one opens! (They totally say that right?) Well, we found a newly reopened snack spot in EPCOT that can satisfy some of your basic Disney snack needs!
Our lives have felt so much FULLER ever since we spotted the new Up-themed stuff at Disneyland Resort’s World of Disney!
Kevin Tee
And today we’ve got the ultimate pleasure of dishing out this big HEADS UP for Disneyland Up fans! The new Up Minnie ears are now at World of Disney in Downtown Disney!
We can’t believe EPCOT has been open for almost an entire month now!
Food and Wine Festival
Time really flies when you’re out and about enjoying the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival.
This year the festival features over 2o signature global marketplaces scattered throughout the World Showcase this year!
It’s getting harder and HARDER to contain our pure cookie joy over the new Gideon’s Bakehouse that’s coming soon to Disney Springs!

We’ve been pretty amped up about the new location which will offer timed cookie drops, giant cake slices, and an explosion of artist collabs when it opens — like these handmade Gideon’s mugs they’re selling at their Orlando shop right now!
Like most other parts of the Walt Disney Company, Adventures by Disney has seen significant effects from the global health crisis.

Some limits on international travel are still in effect, so Adventures by Disney has made some changes to their Temporary Change of Date Policy to accommodate guests affected by any cancellations. With most departures canceled through the end of October, Adventures by Disney has extended their Change of Date Policy through November.
